Why can't we be selfless? Because three mistakes have been made: there is the self, there is the creator, and there is the recipient. As soon as you sit up or recite the Buddha, you subconsciously have the idea that "I" am doing kung fu. When you do Kung Fu, whether you are visualizing, holding mantras, practicing qi, or reciting Buddha, you are doing it yourself. The biggest mistake is that there are recipients, who magnify their feelings and think that they are doing kung fu. Therefore, whether you sit down or not, you should always consult the selfless, what is me? Is it this flesh? The flesh is just a shell, borrowed temporarily, and "I" is not in it, but really where I am.

All the Fa is born of karma, and it is not me who feels that the qi pulsates in my body, it may be that I have eaten the right thing or the wrong thing today, or I may have a slight cold, and my head is slightly swollen and I think that I am impulsive, and this is all self-inflicted. Sentient beings have no self and believe that there is a self, and this is the real great delusion, and it is not that the mind keeps calling it delusion when meditating, it is just a gadget. You usually don't know how much delusion you fight, and you always think that I exist. Obviously, there is no one who is pretentious, there is no one who dominates you, but consciously or unconsciously, you always feel that there is a power worthy of trust and dependence, whether it is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, a God, or your own destiny; Otherwise, relying on oneself and believing that oneself will not be wrong is stupid to the extreme.

Think for yourself, isn't it? You said that you sat all morning, and your spirit was good, of course, you sat there and didn't do any work like resting, of course your spirit was good. You say it's kung fu, isn't this self-deception? There is no creator, but he is creating a realm! There is no recipient, but he plays with his feelings. If you meditate yesterday and felt that the realm was very good, and if you sit again today, how can that realm be lost? If you can fix it, it can break it. All things in heaven and earth come by cultivating the Tao, and if they don't cultivate, they will definitely be bad. The day the house is built is the day when the house is destroyed, which is what Zhuangzi called "life and death".

It's all karma when you do some work here, and with a venue like this, you're an idler, someone helps with the meal, and you have a cushion to sit on...... Remember, there is no self, no creation, no recipient!

All causes arise from each other, and dependent arising is void. Since there is emptiness, why should I study Buddhism? There is nothing that is neither empty nor non-existent, and "the karma of good and evil does not perish." Since there is no self, no creation and no recipient, then you say, "What karma is there when it is empty?" Empty karma! Emptiness is cause and effect; Emptiness is the cause, and the result is purity. In the same way, the karmic consequences of good and evil are not lost. When we understand these truths, we understand that "we can distinguish the aspects of the Dharma well, and do not move in the first righteousness."

"Beginning with the power of the Buddha tree to subdue demons, and the nectar extinguishes enlightenment", this is to praise Shakyamuni's experience of becoming a Buddha. "Beginning in the Buddha tree power to subdue demons", the Buddha at the age of thirty-two under the Bodhi tree, with the power of wisdom to subdue all demons. What is Demon? The Demon of Trouble, the Demon of Death, the Demon of the Five Yin, and the Demon of Heaven, these have been mentioned before. "Having nectar extinguishes enlightenment", a person who meditates, the top of the head is cool, and the pituitary gland secretes fluid into the mouth, and feels the sweetness, which is called nectar empowerment. This is not a certainty, we have to slowly and step by step, maybe we can be determined. If you don't even have this nectar, and your mouth is dry, or even bitter or dry, then it goes without saying. The nectar mentioned here in the Vimala Sutra is not this kind of tangible nectar, but the nectar that describes wisdom. The path to extinction, that is, the path to nirvana, is called the nectar of witness. To get the nectar to extinguish is to extinguish all afflictions, all life and death, and to attain enlightenment.

"There is no mind, no mind, no action", in Buddhism, the mind, the mind, and the consciousness are three different things. Thinking is the heart, for example, when you go out, you don't know how many things you think in your head, that's the heart. Don't forget to call the mind, the mind is the mind, that is, there is no need to mention the thought. You put a silver dollar in your pocket when you go out, and you don't think about it, but you know that you have a silver dollar on you, and that's what you say. Consciousness is a state of mind. In this sutra, meaning also includes awareness. The truly enlightened person is unconsciously unconscious, but instead of becoming an idiot, he is not dead, his wisdom is truly developed, he is much more intelligent than that of ordinary people, and his mind is aware of the attainment of dependent arising voidness.
